In the case of London, from Thatcher onwards, Tory Govts always gave generous central grants to flagship Tory councils like Wandsworth and Westminster, whilst starving boroughs with greater need, like Lambeth - so they could say 'Tory good, low Council tax, Labour bad...' Good to see this changing.

Zelenskyy says Starlink restrictions REMAIN in Ukraine, crippling interceptor drones and military operations. He says Ukraine has evidence the restrictions are DELIBERATE after testing Starlink systems in the EU, where they worked perfectly at speeds that cause connections to fail inside Ukraine.

They're been localised flash flooding in London, nothing like we've seen in Europe so far, but there's no reason why rain at that level can't occur in London. So we need to be prepared rather then ignore the probability
